Just completed these two cards for another weekly challenge. The theme for the 2 of Diamonds was "Circles" -- don't ask me to explain what I came up with! This just sorta "happened" on its own. And the theme for the 3 of Diamonds was "White" -- which is quickly becoming my faorite theme to work with.

Been busy the past two weeks getting the girls ready for school. Mandy had orientation over the weekend and finally started 8th grade today (she was so excited!). Allie starts starts school next Thursday (the big 5th grader!). I was able to get Allie's school supplies, uniforms and shoes in one day, but meeting Mandy's very strict dress code requirement took a few days. She's a teenager so all she owns are blue jeans. She's not used to wearing dress pants and a blazer!!! I still have some bits and pieces to gather together, but we're gettng through the lists. After two years of homeschooling seems we all have to make some adjustments! <sigh>

It's going to be a cold, rainy day here in NY and I was hoping to work on more cards for my deck, but am not sure if I will be able to. I have chronic disc problems in my neck (it's acting up again) and am under doctor's orders to not do too much. Luckily I have an amazing chiropractor so I should be back to normal soon!. I was able to at move around much, much easier after one adjustment. I'm far behind in most of my art commitments, but need to concentrate on getting the girls settled into their school routines.

These are for an art deck I'm participating in. The first card is "A" is for "All Alone". I thought this image was so cute. It looks as if this child so desperately wants to play but no one is around to keep him company. The second image is so strikingly beautiful, there really was no other title more fitting than "B is for "Beauty. Well, two down, 24 more to go!

Wow, it feels great to be posting again. I almost forgot how much fun this is!

The summer has been flying by. I can't believe it's August already. It's been very hot and humid on Long Island, and we've lost power a few times here on the Neck. Sean had to call and have a generator installed last week so we'd be prepared for another outage.

Created these ATCs for Audrey's swap. I don't use children very often in my work, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was so happy to find a few sweet images in my stash so I immediately started ripping paper and let everything fall into place. Needless to say, I had an absolute blast. I still have some finishing touches to put on them, which I will do tonight while I watch a movie with the girls.

I love to capture everyday moments in a creative way. I'm into anything old-fashioned and romantic; not sure
why; I guess that's just the way I'm wired. I love the Lord not because I'm good, but because He is....And I try not to take myself too seriously, which is surprisingly easy to do.
When I'm not knee-deep in a project you're likely to find me hanging out at the beach...or in a quiet spot engrossed with a really good book. Thanks for stopping by and
visiting my little corner of the web. Stay in touch and be blessed...
